Greysfield House
Dating back to circa 1880, Greysfield House is an impressive country house which was originally commissioned by the owners of the Cunard Shipping Line in Liverpool. The property is constructed of brick with black and white half-timbered elevations to the upper floors under a Westmorland slate roof.
In architectural terms Greysfield has stunning features with stone mullioned and leaded windows, carved stone detailing, open fronted porch with columns, dressed stone steps, half-timbered gables and tall chimneys.
The building has recently been converted to a collection of 13 executive and high specification apartments and every care has been taken to deliver sumptuous modern living whilst retaining much of the character of such a beautiful building. The first seven units have been sold and we re pleased to be launching phase two with just six remaining.
The house benefits from perfectly manicured landscaped gardens and enjoys beautiful surroundings of Cheshire countryside providing a peaceful and picturesque setting whilst still being within a 15 minute drive of Chester City Centre and Business Parks and just 5 minutes from the Motorway Network.
